Meat is sold either live of freshly butchered. The markets have live chickens and ducks and sometimes other small animals like rabbits. Beef and pork are butchered I guess the day before and brought to market. So although it's all open air and would seem unsanitary, I don't see how the factory butcher system is much cleaner. People know who they just bought meat from, and don't seem to have problems saying what they think about any particular vendor. Word of mouth works here.

Traffic rules are mainly guidelines here. There's a lot of traffic. Everyone is on mopeds, and I find riding one makes you very connected to the city. There's no isolating bubble, you could even reach out and touch your fellow travelers. There are guys at various corners ready to offer you a ride to where ever you need to go to, but since we're obvious tourists we always take taxis. There aren't a lot of people with private cars, and even the max size of the moped is capped.
